TASTING NOTES
This Extra Brut Classic Method sparkling wine is produced with Chardonnay grapes from vineyards facing south and from Pinot Noir grapes that grows in the small vineyard adjacent to the winery facing east. The yields are very low, the vines are about 20 years old and thanks to the altitude and the scrupulous and careful management of the countryside, they produce healthy and perfectly ripe grapes. The hand-picked and selected bunches are gently pressed in order not to transfer the color to the must from the Pinot Noir skins. The base wine is fermented in steel tanks at 14°C and subsequently bottled and stacked for the second fermentation. One month of second fermentation at a controlled temperature, 30 months of aging on the lees and about 1 year of remuage gives us a bright yellow wine with very delicate rosé reflections with a fine and persistent perlage. The great olfactory complexity, with hints of rennet apple and jasmine, honey and bread crust is well balanced by a fresh and savory mouth and an important structure with a good persistence. Perfect with risotto, white meats, mushrooms and light sauces. The Magnum bottle is perfect together with some few friends.
